More about my work:
No two of my oil paintings are alike. Each one is painted from my heart with love and soul. Here you will find my unique palette knife paintings and prints of my paintings. I create lively, engaging, colorful art, and my work is widely collected across the globe.

"Recognized for my paintings of angels and children in motion in my unique style, I use a palette knife to build energetic layers of color. I paint with the palette knife because it gives me the opportunity to interact with paint in a very tangible, expressionistic way. Using a knife in this way allows the paint to stand out and create a lively and impressionistic work. The surfaces of my paintings are very tactile, sometimes resembling a mosaic of palette knife strokes.

As of 2000, I have been creating a new painting almost every day. My artwork brings birds, cows, horses, flowers, and my unique angels to life. Landscapes, cityscapes, and boat-filled harbors become illuminated by majestic, textured light. I strive to infuse my paintings with energy, intimacy and brilliant color.

Collectors in many countries, including the United States, Sweden, Malta, France, Italy, England, Ireland, Spain, Japan, Canada, Greece, Australia, and Singapore collect my work.
